The BSN Early Career Mentor Scheme is back! We are officially relaunching our mentor scheme at Exeter 2023 with one main change: applications to find your mentor will open twice a year in September and March. Our mentorship scheme aims to provide an informal way for neuroendocrine researchers to find mentors in the field.

We are delighted to have a team of mentors who are also BSN members willing share their expertise and experience in the field of neuroendocrinology with mentees. Mentors and mentees can discuss anything related to their work - from career progression to navigating tricky work environments.
